『音色』Sample Logic ARPOLOGY: Cinematic Dimensions

Back in 2012 Sample Logic developed a game-changing arpeggiator that shook up the industry and left all other arpeggiators in the shade. This ground-breaking piece of scripting was named the “Step Animator” and it became the driving force behind a fantastic multi-genre sample library, the original ARPOLOGY. This library conjured magic from single instruments with incredibly versatile step animation. Fast forward to 2018 and Sample Logic is shaking things up again, but this time taking arpeggiators to a whole new level. The team has spent an entire year developing ARPOLOGY: CINEMATIC DIMENSIONS which quadruples the power of the original ARPOLOGY with the addition of an all new 4-core performance engine, individually animating 4 instruments to create one cohesive sound. This allows users to blend up to 4 instruments while using different arp patterns at the same time, yielding amazingly creative results. This new iteration of ARPOLOGY is not only more powerful, but includes 23+GB of recorded instruments (from the original ARPOLOGY and newly recorded content). The library boasts over 1,200 presets designed to deliver flexible sequencing and arpeggiated grooves for all types of cinematic productions.

As the product title implies, there are many different dimensions to ARPOLOGY: CINEMATIC DIMENSIONS. Beyond the browsing system, Sample Logic has designed a straightforward approach for digging deep into presets and customizing them. The framework of the interface is divided into 4 main sections: CORE, STEP, MIX & MASTER

CORE: Use this section to load individual sound core presets or sound sources into any of the 4 cores. At the center of the CORE interface is a XY controller used to visually blend the mix of the 4 cores. The XY controller movements can be assigned to a hardware controller or animated with a preset automaton pattern. Additionally, record custom XY movements to play back each time a note is triggered right inside the interface.

STEP: This is where the magic happens…programming animation to all 4 cores. In this section, add movement in 2 ways: through the Step Animator and or via the Dynamic FX Animator, which allows for easy FX automation. The Step Animator gives each core a unique arp sequence. This isn’t just a run-of-the-mill arpeggiator as it has many more customizable functions and performance parameters than just a standard arpeggiator. Set the length and attributes of each step independently with up to 128 steps. The STEP section has over 300 unique animation presets, all randomizable to conjure up new patterns on the fly. In addition, use the dynamic browser to load up just the step pattern of any of the main presets via the browser filter section, resulting in limitless combinations of sounds and animations. The lower half of the expanded STEP section has 6 effects slots with over 25 different effects to choose from and each of these can be animated. The Step Animator and Dynamic FX Animators are on separate internal clocks, allowing even more freedom to create syncopated and polyrhythms between each core.

MIX: Similar in layout to the CORE window, the MIX window is tailored towards mixing each core. Adjust attack, release, EQ, energizer and more.

MASTER: This is where everything gets summed into a stereo mix. The master section houses 8 dynamic effect inserts that allow for custom master effects chain, applying the parameters to all 4 cores. This is extremely handy for polishing the entire instrument as a seamless whole. From compression and saturation to delay and reverb, use the many and varied controls to instantly make presets production-ready.

早在2012年，Sample Logic开发了一款改变游戏规则的琶音器，震撼了整个行业，让所有其他琶音器都处于阴影之中。这个开创性的脚本被命名为“Step Animator”，它成为了一个梦幻般的多流派样本库（原始ARPOLOGY）的驱动力。这个合集通过单一乐器创造出神奇的步伐动画。快进到2018年，Sample Logic再次震撼人心，但这一次让琶音器达到了一个全新的水平。该团队花了整整一年时间开发了ARPOLOGY：CINEMATIC DIMENSIONS，它增加了全新的4核性能引擎，使原始ARPOLOGY的功能翻了两番，单独制作了4种乐器，可以创造出一种衔接声音。这允许用户在同时使用不同的arp模式的同时混合多达4种乐器，从而产生惊人的创造性结果。这个新的ARPOLOGY迭代不仅更强大，而且包括23 + GB的录制乐器（来自原始的ARPOLOGY和新录制的内容）。该合集拥有1,200多种预设，旨在为所有类型的电影制作提供灵活的排序和琶音凹槽。

ARPOLOGY有许多不同的维度：电影维度。除了浏览系统之外，Sample Logic还设计了一种直观的方法，可以深入挖掘预设并自定义它们。界面框架分为4个主要部分：CORE，STEP，MIX和MASTER

核心：使用此部分将各个声音核心预设或声源加载到4个核心中的任何一个。在CORE接口的中心是一个XY控制器，用于在视觉上混合4个核心的混合。XY控制器移动可以分配给硬件控制器或使用预设的自动机模式进行动画处理。此外，每次在界面内触发音符时，记录自定义XY移动以进行播放。

STEP：这就是魔术发生的地方……为所有4个核心编程动画。在本节中，通过两种方式添加运动：通过Step Animator和/或Dynamic FX Animator，可实现轻松的FX自动化。Step Animator为每个核心提供一个独特的arp序列。这不仅仅是一种普通的琶音器，因为它具有比标准琶音器更多的可定制功能和性能参数。独立设置每个步骤的长度和属性，最多128步。STEP部分有300多个独特的动画预设，所有动画预设均可随意显示动态的新模式。此外，使用动态浏览器通过浏览器过滤器部分仅加载任何主要预设的步骤模式，从而产生无限的声音和动画组合。扩展STEP部分的下半部分有6个效果插槽，可以选择超过25种不同的效果，并且每个效果插槽都可以设置动画。Step Animator和Dynamic FX Animator位于不同的内部时钟上，可以更自由地在每个内核之间创建切分音和多音节。

MIX：与CORE窗口的布局类似，MIX窗口专为混合每个核心而定制。调整攻击，释放，EQ，激励等等。

MASTER：这是一切都归结为立体声混音的地方。主控部分包含8个动态效果插入，允许自定义主效果链，将参数应用于所有4个核心。这对于将整个仪器作为无缝整体进行抛光非常方便。从压缩和饱和到延迟和混响，使用多种不同的控件立即使预设生产就绪。
